Beneficial cloud connected networking, knowledgeable support, and reliable
Huawei Enterprise Routers can improve by enhancing their security. The software architecture and the operating system that runs on their router and the security capability are not as strong when compared to Cisco. In an upcoming release, they should add more integration for mobile applications with the capability of management monitoring the network remotely.
Kushtrim Arifi - PeerSpot reviewer
Highly scalable, especially suitable for complex and large-scale network deployments
The "Commit" feature stands out. When you try to commit commands, you have some options like sandbox config, leaving those temporary for 60 seconds. This feature allows you to commit configuration changes to the candidate configuration, and then review them for errors before committing them to the active configuration. Another feature that I like is the integration with Cisco routers. This allows you to connect Juniper MX routers to Cisco routers and have them work together seamlessly. We never have interoperability issues.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Internet access is a good feature."
"The product is easy to improve and deploy in terms of configuration for engineers and technical executives."
"We use the solution for point-to-point connectivity, aggregation, and radio connectivity on mTLS."
"The setup is simple."
"The solution offers good customer support and good performance."
"The product is very reasonably priced."
"The routers have mainstream features that fulfill our needs."
"When we started, the connection was amazing for the 100G between the switches and the co-switch. What the students typically use for school is a maximum is 40 so they now have faster technology."
"The solution is stable."
"The performance is good."
"I have found the most useful features to be layered VPNs, IPsec, VPLS, and firewall filters."
"I think that the extensions are very valuable. The way you can test the configuration before applying that configuration permanently is very helpful. The rollback configuration is also very useful."
"Juniper MX Series Routers are easy to configure and easy to back up."
"I would rate the stability a ten out of ten. We never had any issues."
"In our company, we are integrators who create solutions for our customers. I find Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches to be suitable as it allows for easy configuration and offers features like SNMP. Personally, I find it convenient to switch from Cisco to Juniper EX because of my experience with various vendors like Huawei and Cisco. It's easy for me to read configurations from Cisco and transfer them to Juniper. Mainly, we work with customers who want to change or upgrade their network infrastructure, moving from vendors like Cisco, Aruba, or Huawei to Juniper for modernization. Juniper's features are more advanced, and it helps us meet the diverse needs of our customers. My role involves helping with the deployment and configuration of switching, access points, and Wi-Fi, for building robust and modern networks."
"Juniper Enterprise Routers is very flexible."
 

Cons

"The solution's technical support could be improved."
"We have encountered issues while integrating the product with Enterprise Management Systems. Huawei platform is good for Huawei but we face issues when we integrate it with other models."
"Lacks sufficient market availability."
"The internet service for enterprise bundle should be improved."
"It would be better if local storage management was more flexible, so that unused data could be easily removed."
"The configuration is complex and should be simplified."
"The internet speed reduces throughout the day. The tool is not stable."
"Essentially, they need to open their licensing model such that when a customer buys a device, they have a full view of all of the available licenses for it."
"The third-level customer support coming from Juniper itself could be much better. To get assistance from Juniper, we sometimes have to wait for weeks and months. I don't really appreciate that. Their support should be faster."
"The price of this solution should be improved."
"The web interface can be improved."
"Juniper have addressed issues with the MX204, but it still has a limited number of interfaces. Ideally, it should support up to twenty or twenty-four interfaces to better serve smaller service providers. Additionally, the MX304 doesn't support subscriber management, also known as BNG, which I believe should be included."
"Finding market expertise is hard."
"Juniper must publish more information about Juniper MX Series Routers."
"The solution needs to offer SDN features."
"The only thing that might need improvement would be the occasional downtime."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive."
"Huawei Enterprise Routers’s cost is average. I rate its pricing a five out of ten."
"The product is inexpensive, but there is an extra cost for replacement of the device."
"The tool's licensing is yearly."
"The price of the solution is fair."
"The solution is cheap compared to Cisco."
"Huawei offers a cheaper enterprise router solution than Cisco."
"The price is reasonable compared to Cisco's."
"I would rate the pricing model a seven out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. It is not cheap."
"The prices for Juniper MX Series Routers are reasonable."
"We have to pay for the device and licensing. The support service requires additional costs."
"The pricing of Juniper MX Series Routers is okay compared to other technologies."
"I would rate it around a three. While I'm not deeply involved in pricing discussions, I believe it is comparatively more affordable than Cisco."
"The price of this solution is better than other competitors, such as Cisco. We receive a lot of discounts which make the price less expensive and attractive."
"There is a license for this solution and the price is very competitive. The cost is less expensive than some competitors, such as Cisco. There are additional costs for support licenses."
"$300 to $400 is the hardware cost and for licensing cost, it may be around, for support and all, $100 per year."
